PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND & SKILLS
I have the background of Power Electronics Converters, including DC/DC
Converters, AC/DC Rectifiers, DC/AC Inverters. I am very familiar with the
operation principles of these converters and have experienced in designing
them for various applications including Hybrid Vehicles, Smart Grid, and
Renewable Energy Harvesting Systems (Solar, Wind, Ocean Wave, Ocean Tidal,
Ocean Thermal). For the DC/DC Converters, I have the knowledge of the Non-
Isolated Converters (Buck, Boost, Buck-Boost, Zeta, Cuk, Sepic) and
Isolated Converters (Flyback, Forward, Push-Pull, Half Bridge, Full
Bridge). I am very proficient with their operation principles in Continuous
Conduction Mode (CCM), Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) and Critical
Discontinuous Conduction Mode (CDCM). I also have the control background
for converters, including Analog Control and Digital Control. Most of my
research experience is related to the Hybrid Vehicle, Renewable Energy
Harvesting and Smart Grid applications. I have a strong background in the
propulsion system of Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid, All Electric Vehicles and
Series, Parallel, and Series-Parallel Hybrid Vehicles. I am also familiar
with the Power Electronics Converter Application in Motor Drives and some
other advanced topics for Power Electronic Converters such as Bidirectional
Converter, Multi-input Converter, Integrated Converters, Programming
Converters, Synchronous Rectification, and Resonant Converters. I have
plentiful experience in designing complicated power electronic converter
systems in MATLAB/SIMULINK.
Illinois Institute of Technology is at the forefront in the area of Hybrid
and Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles. IIT has several laboratories in the area of
Power Electronics and has the Electric Power and Power Electronic Center.
These laboratories have contributed a lot in the field of Power
Electronics. I have been a research member of the laboratory for two years
and have done a lot of researches in the area of Power Electronic
Converters, especially for the application of Hybrid Vehicles.
Be familiar with the MATLAB/SIMULINK, C++, Pspice, CAD tools for VLSI
Design, MULTISIM, PROTEL 99, MAXPLUS II.

Design and Simulation a New Hybrid Power System for the Micro Air Vehicles
(MAV)
Investigate the past research on Power Systems for MAV and propose a new
Hybrid Power System to extend the flight endurance of MAV. The simulation
is finished using MATLAB/SIMULINK.
PHEV/Wind Unit Coordination to Reduce the Operation Cost of Power System
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) can be used as an energy storage
device to reduce the influence of wind unit generation and thus realize
